It's 26 degrees here this early morning! Thank goodness for heat, gas and heat bulbs for the kids! Next Friday it's supposed to be 61 degrees!
I saw Maria and Sherry on the back of the couch earlier. I started laughing at Maria! She was giving Sherry the signs of: "I'm totally ignoring you! Go AWAY! Can't you see I'm ignoring you?" Sherry's like: "SO! I've got you cornered at the edge of the couch! You aren't going anywhere so you have to put up with me!" I put Maria on the floor to eat and took Sherry to the porch with me! She loves coming out here anyway!
Jennifer, (the size of a small turkey) was sneezing her head off just a few minutes ago. So I cornered her in her carrier and fought her to get meds in her mouth! Lordy I'll be happy when I can put her back out with her two sisters! Momma's still bigger than she is though and I'll sit on her if I have to in order for her to take her medicine!
My arm and shoulder isn't hurting either from the event the other morning! I took enough BP meds to get my heart back down to a regular heartbeat! I had tried halving them so I could take 1/2 when I got up and the other 1/2 when I went to bed to help reduce the fluid buildup from them. It was working well for over a month. But then I guess it caught up to me! ARGH! So I'm back to taking a whole one again! Ugh! I'll be so happy when I don't have to take them anymore!
I'm so ready for the pole barn to get built so Jethro will start hanging out in there! I can then be up during the daytime to get stuff done. I've already told him I have a bed for the barn, a TV and he can take his laptop out there too. We've already bought the pellet stove so he'll have heat too! I'll have to get one of the window A/C units in there when it gets hot! We have four of them! He can take his pick! He'll also have a bathroom in there! He can move Maria and Sherry's couch out there so they can spend their time with their daddy too! He can fence off an area outside where they can go eat grass, scratch and dust in too! WE ALL will be happy!
I've come to the decision the older I get the less I want to put up with! He loves sitting in the living room at his laptop leaning up against the couch while sitting on the floor, watching TV! I can't get anything done because of it! He also loves piling stuff up where he sits! Which is pretty much in the middle of the living room! Ugh! I'm moving a bunch of stuff out of this porch room and the living room to the barn when it gets built! I'm just biding my time right now! And if it doesn't go to the barn? It's going to the dump and to charity! I've put up with it many a year waiting on a barn to be built!
When he makes us rich from working on small engines for others? I'm moving to another piece of property somewhere! Me and Molly! I'm getting away from the rat race around here! I'll figure out a way to have everything delivered to me so I don't have to shop too often! (I'll have to be sure his daughter doesn't try to move in on him too! She worries me! But I don't let it control my existence either! She's like a pesky fly!) Well! I can dream about it all anyway! I'd love to find 20 acres where I could build right in the middle of it! My parent's did that years ago! Then they sold it and moved back to the town where I was raised! They were too far from Dad's doctors and the hospital.
You know when you're having a hard time going to sleep? I have this problem quite a bit! So I've gotten to where I'll go riding on my beautiful horse in the picture I posted, in my mind! I start thinking about riding her and the places I rode! It doesn't take me long to fall asleep after relaxing and thinking about the nice times I had riding! Just something I'm sharing in case it will help others!
Well I better get some things done! It's almost 5:00 AM! I've been typing this post and listening to the oldie country music on TV! Molly's on the floor in here with me! She's primping getting herself ready for bedtime! Life is wonderful off those damned pain pills! I no longer have to worry about how many I have left to take or worry about them falling out of pockets! There's nothing like getting up and finding a pill laying beside the coffee pot from Jethro finding it earlier where I would have dropped one! ARGH! My heart would almost pound out of my chest! I would be like: "Crap! I hope he doesn't ask me questions about it!" Thank God those days are WAY behind me!
Everyone have a clean day!
